Ann finds hope in little things—the beauty of a bird, a bud, or even the memory of a lovely thing. With the mindfulness of God’s creation, can we survive the manmade monster we have made of Earth? Or is our Eden soon to be gone forever? What exists in the now may yet save us, may sustain us through to infinity and beyond, if we live carefully and in moderation. After careers as a music professor, a real estate broker/owner, and an investments systems manager, Ann Spier returned to her first love—writing—upon retirement. After two self-published prose books, TWELVE DOGS and THE ZOO CHRONICLES, the joy of writing poetry became the icing on the cake for Ann’s literary adventures.
